Collapse of state-owned African airlines blamed on lack
of accountability
Accra, March 5, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Benjamin Asare Buotu, Director of
Afrijet Airlines, has observed that the collapse of some
state-owned African airlines, including Ghana Airways, is
due to lack of accountability.
He said private airlines often performed well because their
owners
insisted on good practices and accountability, since they
could not bear to have their investments go down the drain.
Mr Buotu said this when he talked to journalists at the
Kotoka International Airport on Thursday about the
operations of Afrijet Airlines, the latest airline on the
Accra-Lagos route.
He said, although a number of airlines already flew the
route, Afrijet
was bound to stand out by virtue of the unique package it
had for travellers.
Mr Buotu mentioned punctuality, moderate airfares as well as
courteous attitude to passengers and customers as some key
features of the Airline.
The Airline operates with an MD83 aircraft with 16 first
class seats and 146 economy seats, with each seat having an
individual video screen.
It departs Accra everyday of the week apart from Saturdays.
